When asking AI engines about gyms in Newcastle, buyers frequently find Anytime Fitness leading the conversation. This brand appears in 12.5% of all visibility instances, setting it apart as the most recognized gym. Plus Fitness and Fitness First are also notable contenders, coming up often in AI-generated answers and discussions.
The current ranking reflects which sources AI engines cite most: Google, The Gym Group, MSN, Newcastle Table Tennis, and some Wix sites. Aggregator and review sites influence these results significantly, indicating that AI relies heavily on collected opinions and data from widely accessed sources.
For buyers examining our list, consider how AI engines prioritize recent reviews and third-party validations. This suggests that brands with consistent, positive, and current feedback from credible sources tend to rank higher. When choosing, look for those with strong topical authority and verified testimonials in the specific subcategory of interest.
At a glance
What we observed in this category
Anytime Fitness is the sole brand with measurable AEO presence in this category, holding a 12.5% visibility score and a composite score of 8.8 against a category average of just 0.7%. Every other tracked brand, including Plus Fitness, Fitness First, F45 Training, and Jetts, sits at exactly 0.0% visibility and 0.0% composite score. That gap is not marginal. It means Google AI Mode is surfacing one brand in response to gym-related queries in Newcastle while the remaining 16 tracked brands are effectively absent from AI-generated answers.
Despite leading on visibility, Anytime Fitness carries a 0.0% citation rate, identical to every other brand in the category. This is a significant divergence: the brand is named in AI responses but its domain is not being cited as a source. No brand in this dataset earns a citation, which means AI Mode is referencing gym brands by name without anchoring those references to their own web properties. Being visible and being trusted as a cited source are currently two separate problems in this category.
The top cited sources in this category are notably disconnected from the brands being ranked. Google.com, thegymgroup.com, msn.com, jdgyms.co.uk, and puregym.com appear in the citation list, yet none of these are Australian gym brands with Newcastle-specific operations. The presence of newcastletabletennis.com.au and skalvinali.wixsite.com among cited sources reinforces that AI Mode is pulling from loosely related local content rather than authoritative brand or directory sources for this geographic query.

How to read this AEO ranking
Four things worth knowing before you act on the numbers above. These are the same definitions across every industry page — for category-specific observations, see the What we observed section above (where available) and the per-brand insights inline in the ranking.
Visibility = being named
A brand's visibility % is the share of AI answers that mention it by name in the response prose. This is who AI engines actively recommend to the buyer. More on visibility →
Citation rate = being trusted
Citation rate is the share of AI answers that include the brand's domain as a clickable source link. This is what the AI treats as authoritative evidence, different from being named. More on citation rate →
Top engine differs by brand
The "top engine" column shows which AI surface each brand performs best on. Big gaps between a brand's score across engines usually points to specific content or schema gaps. How AI engines pick sources →
AEO rankings move month to month
AI engines re-crawl and re-rank on shorter cycles than classical search. We re-audit every brand on this list at least every 90 days and refresh this page automatically. How AI search ranking works →
